A new, magnesium superionic conductor based on metal–organic frameworks

Caption

The new Mg2+ conductor consists of a metal–organic framework holding Mg2+ ions in its pores. A “guest molecule” acetonitrile is introduced into the structure to accelerate the ionic conductivity of Mg2+ and allow its migration through the solid.
